ABOUT PRODUCTID 11581
This figural service bell from Germany, dating to the 1970s, is a distinctive example of postmodern design applied to everyday objects. Crafted from chromed brass, it features a highly polished, mirror-like silver surface and balanced proportions in its conical body, enhanced by two subtle horizontal grooves near the base. The handle takes the form of a meticulously detailed bird with outstretched wings, adding a sculptural and figural element to the piece. The absence of visible screws, joints, scratches, or patina attests to the precise craftsmanship and very good condition – all components are original and free from signs of use.The bell seems to quietly recount the spirit of the 1970s, a period when postmodernism blurred boundaries between utility and ornament. Its reflective surface catches and transforms light and surroundings, playing with perception as if the object were both a practical tool and a discreet piece of sculpture. The bird figure, dynamic and finely rendered, introduces a sense of lightness, distance, and wit – qualities emblematic of an era that embraced design as a dialogue between tradition and the contemporary.This bell may be displayed on a console table in the living room, among a collection of vintage items or on a bookshelf with design books, where it will subtly draw the eye and lend a touch of refinement to the arrangement. It can be paired with metal or glass vessels of clean lines and with posters from the 1970s in cool whites, greys, or blacks. The object will suit both eclectic and minimalist interiors inspired by postmodernism, complementing them with its decorative and historical presence.
